Stinger (real name Wendy) is a fictional mutant super villain in the Marvel Comics Universe.

Publication history

Stinger first appeared in "X-Factor" #5-6 (June-July 1986), and was created by Bob Layton.

The character subsequently appears in "X-Factor" #33 (October 1988), and "New Mutants Annual" #7 (1991).

Stinger appeared as part of the "Alliance of Evil" entry in the "Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89" #1.

Fictional character biography

A young valley girl with electrical-based mutant powers, Stinger is a member of the Alliance of Evil, Apocalypse's original strike force. Because of her youth, Stinger often handles situations recklessly, as seen when she accidentally kills Michael Nowlan's girlfriend, Susan. During their battles with X-Factor, Stinger often flirts with Angel, much to his annoyance. Stinger stays with the Alliance of Evil when they defy the Mutant Registration Act, and later battles the New Mutants with the team. Her current whereabouts are unknown.

Powers and abilities

Stinger can build static energy around her hands and discharge it as bioelectricity bolts.

Other versions

In the Age of Apocalypse storyline, there is a young woman named Wendy that resides on Avalon who has a look and powers very similar to Stinger's. Though it is unconfirmed, it is safe to assume that this is an alternate version of Stinger, which would make Wendy her real name.
